What are the virtues of this great remedy?
The grlpsack of the President of the United
States might reveal secret and distinguished
men Of the world have used it with benefit,
What it is and what it is not can be briefly
told; has been told in thousand ways, and
by thousands it has been used. 1t cures

The most remarkable proof of this perma-
nency OF cure has been furnished the pro-
! prletors in an unexpected form but at the
same time most gratifying
In duty bound to look after the interests of
their patrons and patients, they addressed q
| circular letter to such as had used it, making
inquiry as to the state of their health with
view Of advising further.
What was their surprise to learn from all
OF them, thousands in number, except such
as had removed their residence that in every
case where used according to directions the
| cures made by the great remedy had re-
| NAMED permanent.
Cheerful renewals of their statements
| were made which disclosed the remarkable
| showing which no other similar remedy has
ever shown-that the cures were those of
chronic cases of long standng-cases
where clutches and canes had been used.
What is more remarkable still, the cures
were prompt and positive without the recur-
renee OF pain or discomfort in lapse of
years as long as its own existence and after
the disease had ravaged as long as thirty
years.
As specimen of cheerful response,
wherein these points are fully set forth, we
give the following:
Mr.. D. NJ. Rearick, of Constantine. Mich,
writes Feb. Is, 1887, as follows:
1T gives me much pleasure to substantiate
what L said five years ago in regard to your
great remedy.
Il had been troubled with rheumatism, or
rather pain in my back, for about MiYty Years,
so much so that l was confined to nv bed
two or three weeks at time.
Tried most every remedy, most every
plaster that | could get in drug store but
no relief from them; but about five wears
ago l bought one and half bottles of St.
Jacobs Oil and made fourteen applications,
but l would say here that gave it thorough
rubbings according to directions.
II can say without hesitation that it has -
done for me all that you claim for the oil.
Il am happy to inform you that 1 have
been we'll and healthy man the past FIVE
years; have done all kinds of work, and can
lift as much as l ever could.
Haven't been lame with my back one day
in the space of five years, and would SAY to
all that have like trouble, give St. Jacobs Oil
fair trial and know you will find relief from
same"
Something more remarkable is the follow
ing: Just imagine any one of the little
cripples seen on the street taken up and
maglcally cured, SO that he throws away his
crutch and goes to work. and the case will
be appreciated. But to the facts:
Co., druggists, Lowell, Mass, write: "Mr.
Lewis Dennis, No. 1876 Moody St., desires
to recommend St. Jacobs Oil to any afflicted
with rheumatism, as he has obtained benefit
by using it, but he desires especially to say:
"Orin Robinson, of Granville, Mass,
boy Of Il years, came to his house in the
summer of 1884, walking upon crutches.
His left leg having been bent at the
knee for over two months, and could not be
bent back. He could not walk upon it.
"Mr Dennis had some St. Jacobs Oil in
the house and gave it to him to rub on his
knee. In six days he had no use for his
crutches, and went home well without them
and has been well since St. Jacobs Oil cured
him."
The case from January II, 1883, to July
9, 1887, stood thus A confirmed cripple on
crutches-knee bent-leg useless. Cured
by St. Jacobs Oil. Was the cure perma-
nent? Inquiry was made on this point of
Osgood & Co., June IS, 1887. After an inter-
val of four years, it will be seen what is the
condition of the poor cripple.
They reply as follows, July 9, 1887: "Mr.
Lewis Dennis has just called upon me and !,
informs me:
THAT the boy Grin Robinson, who was
poor cripple on crutches and was cured by
st. Jacobs Oil in 1881 ; the cure has remained
permanent.
The young man has been and is now at
work every day at manual labor, case GET
tainly which proves the efficacy of St. Jacobs
Oil.
"Mr. Dennis tells me also that he had rheu-
matism in his knee tried many remedies but
Of no USE and it cured the rheumatism
as it has not troubled him for
years"
